too many options to decide...

  • 70-200 f4 + 24mm stm
  • 60mm macro + 10-18mm
  • 17-55mm
  • 55-250 + 24mm

Any help is appreciated!

Sigma 17-50 OS

550-250 STM

Not quite 800, but over 700...close though

the 70-200 f4 is $350 used like 1 years old, the 55-250 is like 250. How big is the image quality difference?

If you find a one year old 70-200 f4L in good condition for $350, consider yourself extremely lucky and buy it immediately

Yeah, I was surprised it was that cheap too.  A quick look online shows 450-550$ depending upon seller/condition.
